Ive been lurking around for a while, and I finally registered.I have a 89 b2200 completely stock.Ive convinced myself to do a simple static drop to the truck for now, most likely bags later on.I plan on flipping bj's and cranking the bars in the front, and 3" blocks and monoleafing the rear.Ive read up on using stock shocks for an 87ish izuzu pup.Are these going to be compatable with my above lowering plan? I got confused in one of the threads when somebody said not to use em if you crank the bars.Ill post pics of the truck once its dropped, just wanted to order the shocks if they will be a solution to my horribly blown stockers.Thanks in advance.

What was said on the other thread (I believe) is that the '87 Isuzu shocks are good if you just turn the torsions down but don't reindex them. There should be no reason to reindex if you are doing 3" blocks. That's exactly what I did last week. Link to other thread.

Ok, finally got to the shocks. Installed them yesterday on lunch break! Shocks are Gabriel ProGuard #61501 for 1987 Isuzu pickup. They are 2 inches shorter than stock. The ride is much better now. Here's the pics I took on the lift. (Stock behind Isuzu) Is anyone running longer shocks for the back? They need replaced too, and I have the 3" blocks back there.
